Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data secure when using this converter?

Absolutely! All conversions happen entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. This makes it safe for sensitive data like customer information or proprietary business data.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no strict file size limit, but very large files (over 10MB) may cause performance issues in your browser. For extremely large datasets, consider processing them in smaller chunks.

Why did my conversion fail?

Common reasons include: invalid syntax in the source format, unsupported nested structures when converting to flat formats like CSV, or malformed data. Check the error message for specific details.

Can I convert complex nested JSON to CSV?

CSV is a flat format and doesn't support nested structures. When converting nested JSON to CSV, only the top-level properties will be included. Consider using JSON or XML for complex nested data.

Does this tool support batch conversion?

Currently, the tool processes one conversion at a time. For batch processing, you would need to convert files individually or use command-line tools for bulk operations.
